The Rockville Regatta was held for the 123rd consecutive year on Bohicket Creek.

Always held the first weekend in August, this event has not only been billed as the last sail boat race of the Lowcountry season, but as the largest cocktail party on water.

The Sea Island One Design is the featured class of this historic annual regatta. The Moth, Y-Flyer, Sunfish and E-Scow classes also competed.
